Research Abstract

We discovered several cercopithecid fossils from the latest Miocene/early Pleistocene sediments of Myanmar, and also revealed the later Neogene faunal transition in Myanmar. We also reapprased the later Neogene cercopithecid monkeys, that have been reported from the East Eurasia(Guangxi Province of south China, southern Taiwan, Transbaikalia, Tadjikistan) with the discussion of their phyletic position.
